Ka Hikitia — Accelerating Success 2013–2017

Ka Hikitia — Accelerating Success 2013–2017 is the Ministry of Education's strategy to rapidly change how the education system performs so that all Māori students gain the skills, qualifications and knowledge they need to enjoy and achieve education success as Māori.

About our strategy

Ka Hikitia has been extended until the end of 2018 and continues to be our Māori education strategy. We’re going to be working with the sector and communities on the next phase of the strategy this year.

Ka Hikitia — Accelerating Success 2013–2017 is an updated strategy, not a brand new one. Its predecessor, Ka Hikitia — Managing for Success 2008–2012, set the direction for improving how the education system performs for Māori students.
